This study was carried out for evaluating correlation of aging level and deformation resistance of asphalt mixtures conditioned by artificial aging treatment. The specimens were made of the short-term aged loose asphalt mixture which was kept in a convection oven at $154^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours, and then were artificially aged at $110^{\circ}C$ for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours for long-term aging. Deformation strength ($S_D$) and large molecular size ratio (LMS(%)) were measured after short-term and each long-term aging treatment to evaluate aging extents of each mixture with aging time using GPC(Gel-permeation chromatograph) test. It is shown that the $S_D$ and LMS(%) were increased with aging time increment, and that LMS(%) quantity and $S_D$ have relatively good correlation each other. This study found that the aged asphalt mixture had better resistance against rutting and it was possible to estimate rutting characteristics of asphalt mixtures by using LMS(%) without a binder recovery.

This study was carried out for developing artificial short-term aging(SA) and long-term aging(LA) methods of asphalt mixtures in which the aging level is properly matched with those of RTFO and PAV aged binders, respectively. The specimens were made of the short-term aged loose asphalt mixture which was kept in a convection oven at $154^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours and were aged at $110^{\circ}C$ for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours for SA. Large molecular size(LMS) were measured using GPC after SA and LA to evaluate aging extents of each mixture with aging time. It is shown that the LMS was increased with aging time increment and that from the LMS(%) change ratio, it was possible to suggest an appropriate artificial aging time which is corresponding level of aging with RTFO and PAV. It was found that SA was somewhat strong and LA for 48 hours at $110^{\circ}C$ would be appropriate if sort-term aging is properly controlled.

혼합형 고체추진제에 대한 장기물성 변화 및 노화특성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 CTPB와 HTPB를 바인더로 한 두 종류의 추진제에 대하여 기계적 특성 시험에 의한 추진제 장기물성 변화와 온도 변화에 따른 추진제의 화학적 노화특성을 확인하여 두 추진제의 장기 저장시 안정성에의 영향을 고찰하였다. 장기물성 평가를 위해 추진제의 응력완화 시험, 온도 및 속도변화에 따른 일축 인장시험, 하중.변형 내구성 시험을 실시하였고, 2$0^{\circ}C$, 4$0^{\circ}C$, 6$0^{\circ}C$에서 32주 동안 보관하면서 노화 시험을 실시하였다.

Oxidation causes increment of the quantity of large molecular size or LMS in asphalt and is a major reason for hardening of asphalt binder. An extended service life of pavement on a road is expected by reducing oxidation of binder. Oxidation of binder occurs during hot mixing with aggregates before placement on road and then during in-service after the asphalt pavement is constructed. Quantitative increase of LMS as result of aging after RTFO and PAV was analyzed based on the data from high-pressure gel-permeation chromatography (HP-GPC). Polymer modified asphalt (PMA) after RTFO procedure showed 20-30% increment in LMS and then after PAV procedure more than twice, although the percentage of increment was different according to asphalt brand and grade. The PMAs containing LDPE or SBS, which showed a great mechanical property improvement in previous studies, were selected for characterizing PMA aging In this study. Considerably reduced increment of LMS was observed from the PMA containing LDPE after RTFO and PAV procedures. The GPC result showing the binder with less LMS increment means that the asphalt while being mixed with LDPE was aged less during the aging treatment. The dispersed particle of LDPE in asphalt cement seems to disturb oxidative aging reaction and evaporation.

The purpose of this research is to analyze care types in long-term care facilities with the view of Active Ageing by using Q-methodology. In-depth interviews were conducted to grasp various thoughts on care of long-term care facilities in three areas of WHO's active aging: health, safety, and participation. 35 people participated in the interview, including the elderly living in long-term care facilities, adult children of the elderly living in long-term care facilities, the elderly living in the community, service providers, and long-term care professionals. Of the 451 Q populations, 63 Q samples were extracted, and a total of 43 P samples were used for final data analysis. Data were analyzed using the QUANL program, and as a result, three factor structures (4 types) were found to be suitable and accounted for 30.15% of the total variance. Current care types in long-term care facilities were analysed into 4 types: protection-oriented care (type 1), participation-oriented care (type 2), medical-connected care (type 3), and human-centered care (type 4). Based on the results of this study, institutional and practical suggestions and implications were presented for the qualitative change of care in long-term care facilities.

Asphalt binder characteristics in asphalt mixture are changed due to aging. However. depending upon aggregate and binder used, asphalt mixture dose not show the same level of stiffness and brittleness under the same ageing level. The factors affecting Physical Properties change of the asphalt binder within aged asphalt concrete are not well known and there is limited study which is dealing with this topic This study dealt with evaluation of physical properties of asphalt binder recovered from the mixtures after short-term and long-term aging. Two asphalts. two aggregates. two gradations and four polymers were used to make 32 mixture combinations. The mixtures were prepared and aged artificially in a forced draft oven. The measured physical properties included absolute viscosity, kinematic viscosity and penetration. Statistical analyses were carried out to find out the factor(s) having a significant effect on change of physical property of asphalt binder due to asphalt mixture aging. The results of study shown that aggregate, gradation and polymer had a significant effect on change of physical properties of asphalt binder.

국내 가동 원전의 운전 연수가 증가함에 따라 장기 사용 원전의 안전성 향상과 수명 관리 연구가 진행되고 있다. 원전 수명 관리는 발전소 운전 안전성과 성능을 유지하면서 최적 경제 시점인 최적 수명까지 발전소를 운전하기 위한 제반 기술 활동이다. 적절한 수명 관리로 원전을 최적 수명까지 운전하더라도 발전소는 노화에 의해 운전 안전성이 영향을 받거나 저하되지 않아야 한다. 발전 설비의 노화에는 실제의 기기나 구조물이 경년 열화에 의해 노화되는 물리적 노화와 설계 기술의 발달과 새로운 안전 개념의 적용으로 기존 기술이 낙후하는 비물리적 노화로 구분할 수 있다. 물리적 노화는 기기$\cdot$구조물$\cdot$계통의 물리적 상태 변화로 성능을 저하시키고, 비물리적 노화는 발전소 계통의 안전 개념$\cdot$기준$\cdot$기술이 새롭게 변화되지 않은 것이다. 본 논문에서는 물리적 노화는 수명 관리 연구, 비물리적 노화는 안전성 관리의 측면에서 검토하였고, 두 분야의 국내외 연구 현황$\cdot$개념$\cdot$추진 방법$\cdot$상호 관계 등을 살펴보고, 상호 유기적인 관계를 보완 할 수 있는 제도적 장치 도입 및 적용 방안에 대해 논하였다.

Hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellants of solid rocket motors age differently under different storage temperatures. The shelf life of a solid rocket motor depends on the aging ratio of the HTPB propellant; it can be estimated through the viscoelastic properties by an aging test. This study analyzed the initial and natural aging properties during long-term storage. The initial properties were obtained from characterization and accelerated test results. The test results were obtained by analyzing the strain on cylindrical grains when a thermal load was applied.
